After leaks of the Green Bay Packers 2024 schedule and throughout the rest of the league last week, the NFL and the 32 teams officially have their 2024 schedule. The Packers have nine home games and eight road games this season. It all begins with a trip to Brazil to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in week 1.
We knew who the opponents would be and where. Now we get to see when those games will be played. Here are my three initial thoughts on the schedule setup.
The Green Bay Packers Play Only 3 Road Games After Brazil Until Their November 10 Bye Week

I can’t imagine how difficult it will be for the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles to travel to Brazil for their week 1 battle. While they knew this for some time, they still have to adjust once they get there.
With the Packers getting a bye in week 10, the schedule sets up nicely with only three road games after the Brazil game until the bye week. That means they will spend a lot of time at home in Green Bay and less time traveling.
The Packers are Loaded With Prime Time Games Late in the Season

Green Bay did get five prime time games this year. That was not surprising. However, I found it interesting that four of the five prime time games are one after another. The Packers will be on prime time from November 28-December 23.
During this stretch, they will be playing on either Thursday night, Sunday night, or Monday night. There are a few later afternoon games, but prime time games are only considered to be night games. These four prime time games will be home against Miami, at Detroit, at Seattle, and home against the Saints. The Dolphins and Lions are Thursday night while Seattle is Sunday night and New Orleans Monday night.
The Green Bay Packers Will Win 12 Games

Looking at this schedule, the tougher games appear to be at Lambeau Field. I could see the Green Bay Packers win at least seven home games. I think Houston and San Francisco will be the toughest homes games. Miami on Thanksgiving night could be a sneaky tough game too.
The road games will be more challenging against teams like Seattle, Jacksonville, and the LA Rams. Of course, the divisional games on the road will be tough as well. Philadelphia should be more of a home crowd as I expect a ton of Packers fans in Brazil.
